Fog, wind make for cautious commute

SAN DIEGO – Residents of San Diego County will need to watch for dense fog or harsh winds today, depending where they live in, forecasters said.

A Dense Fog Advisory is in effect along the coast until 9 a.m., following three days of record-breaking heat, according to the National Weather Service.

Heavy fog is typical after a heat wave breaks, forecasters said. Drivers should be extra cautious, as visibility is reduced to less than a quarter-mile in some areas.

A Wind Advisory is in effect from noon until 4 a.m. tomorrow in the mountain and desert regions, NWS forecasters said.

Winds will be coming from the west at 15 to 25 mph, with gusts up to 45 mph in the mountains and deserts, forecasters said.

The wind could make driving difficult, especially for motorists with high- profile vehicles. Drivers should be extra cautious, as visibility may be sharply reduced by dust and sand blowing through some areas, forecasters said.
